More than ten thousand civilians are in grave danger in Fashoda county in South Sudan in the face of an imminent attack. @unmissmedia can take steps to fulfil their mandate of protecting civilians under threat of physical violence. But action is needed now. 🧵
To save lives, UNMISS should provide protection by deploying more peacekeepers to Kodok and open a humanitarian corridor. Currently the Malakal PoC is the only relatively secure spot for the Shilluk. However, reaching Malakal for civilians is very dangerous at the moment.
